What are two recommendations for solving any one of the four biggest challenges.

Public Health Paper

You will prepare a 5-page paper, 1500 word maximum (5 pages of information. Cover pages, abstracts, and references DO NOT count towards this requirement). There are specific spacing and font requirements (see below). DO NOT change margins, font sizes, and increase spacing to make your paper fit the 10-page requirement.

Answer the following questions in your paper:

1. What area or areas of Public Health Science appeal to you most? Why? Be specific. DO NOT say “I like it" and leave it at that.Community Health because you can make an impact in your local community

2. What area or areas of Public Health Science are least appealing to you? Why?.DO NOT say “I don’t like it" and leave it at that.
• All the areas are important to Public Health Science.

3. What do you feel are the four (4) biggest challenges facing public health/health care services in the United States? **Provide specific examples and research. DO NOT say, “Because people need health care and don’t have it.”

4. What are two recommendations for solving any one of the four biggest challenges you noted in 3.? **Provide specific recommendations. DO NOT say, “If people would pay for insurance, they would have it.” That is obvious! But there are reasons that simple solution does not happen…tell me about those reasons.

You may choose to include opposing viewpoints in this section to help you build a case for your topic. Keep in mind, you are not the expert and any data or information you present must be cited. Also, continue building your paper by creating your reference section. Note that references should be no older than five years, unless they are a seminal work or a reference of historical value. You need to use at least 5 sources. We are focusing on your reference section early, since citations for articles in the introduction and body can be challenging. You must adhere to APA formatting for citations in your writings. Any information you share in your paper must be cited, and all citation resources should be included in your reference section. Because we are using APA formatting, you do not need to use footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of your paper.

Describe the steps you would take if you were leading this outbreak investigation.

CDC Outbreak

For this assignment, you will use your knowledge of the field of epidemiology to outline how you would respond to a real disease outbreak. This case study is based on an investigation conducted by the New York State Department of Public Health Division and is used to train the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers (CDC “disease hunters”). Refer to Chapter 4, page 80 in your textbook for more information on this case.

On April 19, 1940, the local health officer in the village of Lycoming, Oswego County, New York, reported the occurrence of an outbreak of acute gastrointestinal illness to the District Health Officer in Syracuse. Dr. A. M. Rubin, epidemiologist-in-training, was assigned to conduct an investigation. When Dr. Rubin arrived in the field, he learned from the health officer that all persons known to be ill had attended a church supper held on the previous evening, April 18. Family members who did not attend the church supper did not become ill. Accordingly, Dr. Rubin focused the investigation on the supper. He completed interviews with 75 of the 80 persons known to have attended, collecting information about the occurrence and time of onset of symptoms, and foods consumed. Of the 75 persons interviewed, 46 persons reported gastrointestinal illness.

The supper was held in the basement of the village church. Foods were contributed by numerous members of the congregation. The supper began at 6:00 p.m. and continued until 11:00 p.m. Food was spread out on a table and consumed over a period of several hours. Data regarding onset of illness and food eaten or water drunk by each of the 75 persons interviewed are provided in the attached line listing. The approximate time of eating supper was collected for only about half the persons who had gastrointestinal illness.

Instructions

For this assignment, use the information in the case to answer the following questions. Click on each number for details about the assignment question.

Question 1: Would you call this an epidemic? Would you call it an outbreak?

Question 2: Describe the steps you would take if you were leading this outbreak investigation.

Question 3: The investigators suspected that this was a vehicle-borne outbreak, with food as the vehicle. What is a vehicle? What is a vector?

Question 4: What is the value of an epidemic curve?

Question 5: Using the data in the line listing below, download and complete the attack ratio table (Attached).

You will complete this only for the 40 patients listed in the line listing below instead of the 75 that were interviewed. (Be sure to paste the table into your submission document.)

Which food is the most likely vehicle of infection? Explain your reasoning.

Describe ways that you may have addressed or recognized a power imbalance,and whether or not that imbalance had an institutional component.

Cultural Humility

Cultural humility is not only a concept apropos to overseas missions. It happens increasingly as our communities grow more diverse over time. A good way to think about cultural humility is in the context of your day to day. Do you think about how you encounter different cultures in your everyday life? Perhaps you have patients who are immigrants or who adhere to a different way of life than you.

Or perhaps your co-workers have a different demographic background than you. It is important to consider how we practice cultural humility on a consistent basis.

Reflect upon this week’s lesson and on your experiences as a healthcare worker day to day. In particular, think about some of the times in which you encountered people from cultures other than the one you are most familiar and comfortable with.

POST:
In your initial post, take some time to consider your experiences providing cross cultural care.

Have there been times that you have found this challenging? Consider and share a specific scenario that challenged you.

Describe ways that you may have addressed or recognized a power imbalance,and whether or not that imbalance had an institutional component. What did you learn?

How might you approach that differently today or how would you advise a nursing or medical student to approach a cultural challenging scenario?

How does the Christian world view contribute to providing cross cultural care?
